I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Barbara: Quebec City tutor

Certified Tutor

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Science in Earth and Space Science from the University of Washington. The research I did for my MS degree focused on Geomicrobiology, which combines Geology, Biology and Chemistry. I love thinking about science and learning how the world works. Studying a topic that combined many different sciences allowed me to spend time learning as much as I could about these fun subjects. During graduate school I had the opportunity to teach classes in my department as well as work with high school students in my research lab and I realized that working with students as an instructor and mentor was both exciting and fulfilling. Now that I've finished my degree I want to take the time to find a career where I can continue to work with all kinds of people and see how to pass on a love of learning. I tutor math and several science subjects including Biology, Chemistry and Earth Science. When I'm relaxing I enjoy reading all types of books, fiction and non-fiction. I also love spending time with my friends whether that's sitting down to enjoy a fabulous meal or meeting for a walk around the lake.
